SOPA and PIPA
So my site was blacked out from early this morning until evening to participate in the SOPA Strike. I may sound like a broken record now but I’m quite passionate about spreading the word about this, as I’ve seen how horribly informed most people I know are about these two bills. The strike had a good effect, it made it to national news! It is a step in the right direction. The internet is just something we cannot allow the government to take control of. There’s still a fight ahead, please pass the word on about these things. Stay informed. If the government gets into the internet, our freedoms as we know it are at stake.
- US backers end support for anti-piracy bill (awesome stuff)
- SOPA Blacks Out Top Sites (gallery of some of the bigger sites that blacked out)
- SOPA Infringes on Liberties (informative)
- MPAA Chairman Chris Dodd Speaks Out (he’s full of dookie)
- Congress May Re-Copyright Public Domain Works (bad news folks)
- Mike Mozart – Richard O’Dwyer Extradited to US (although I don’t know if I fully agree, it’s interesting)
- Techdirt Article (some good information)
So now that I’ve bombarded any visitors with a wall of links, please do check them out. Keep up to date on this. It is important!
